About this meeting

Brighton's Lesbian/Gay/Bi-Sexual/Transgender Big Book meeting gathers on Thursday evenings at 7.30pm at Dorset Gardens Methodist Church in Brighton, running for an hour and a quarter. The meeting studies the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous's basic text, and offers LGBT people a space to talk about drinking and recovery among peers who share some of the same experience. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is for those who have a desire to stop drinking, including anyone coming through the door for the first time. A chit system operates, so attendance slips for court, probation or treatment can be signed. The church is wheelchair accessible. Like every AA meeting it is free, with no booking or referral required.
